4 Times Billy Porter Owned The Red Carpet!

Written by Julia Hutchens. Published: June 11 2019

 

For Billy Porter, every red carpet is a stage.

 

Time and time again, the Golden Globe-nominated actor continues to wow us with his truly iconic and one-of-a-kind style. When Porter struts down the red carpet, his goal is to make an impact on society rather than to just to look pretty, and his fans admire him for transforming the genre of red carpet entrances from bland marketing moments to an opportunity for high personal statement making.

 

Particularly, Porter uses his red carpet appearances to question gender stereotypes. “I want to flip the question of what it means to be a man,” Billy Porter said. “This question of masculinity, this sort of microscope of heteronormative masculinity that we are very often held up to, especially as leading men, needs to be shattered. You know, it’s toxic and I’m over it and I’ve lived it and I’m not doing it anymore.”

 

Here are 4 times this year where Porter made more than just a fashion statement on the red carpet!
